“Sikhosana was admitted on Monday and he spent three days without treatment because the hospital had no drugs. He could not manage to buy the prescribed medication because he did not have money or medical aid,” the family source said.

The female family member said Sikhosana claimed to have been dumped by his colleagues in Zanu PF.

“He was admitted in Forrester ward, a common ward for all-male patients. He was only helped by a Bulawayo party leader and businessman who requested his transfer to a private ward. Even his medication came two days before his death after intervention from elsewhere. He died drained and a pauper,” she said.

The source said the late politburo member’s remains were only collected from the mortuary by a private funeral company after government declared him a national hero.

“It was so disheartening for such a big name to die in that way after all he did for the country and party,” the source said.
